    According to wheels, Nate believes you are either born a passing PG or your not. Bayless is a scoring PG not passing PG

    I got to run Wookie. Was going to talk to you after Wheels was done.

    Glad whoever is giving whoever a hard time is all good fun.


    Go Blazers!

    Man wish I had been able to attend. I had to save my leave time for the lunch on Monday. I wish I could have heard Wheels and sad I won't get to meet him on Monday. :(

    God, that was such a good time. Thanks to Brian Wheeler for not only taking the time to do this, but for going way overtime, and for the drink :) . Sorry I had to leave early, but my son is sick, and I let my wife and mother-in-law handle too much of the baby-load. I wanted to get a picture with Wheels, but I didn't want to interupt the flow. He just kept rolling and rolling with it. Those were some great stories. It was interesting to listen to him speak so candidly, and share some things from his personal life. It was also fun to meet some of you. I didn't have a whole lot to say, but I'm a lot better one on one, and I really just wanted to sit and listen to everyone else. Maybe I'll be more talkative on Monday. In one way, I'm surprised by how many people had to back out. On the other hand, I wonder if it wouldn't have been as comfortable with the smaller group. I can't wait to see the pictures. Thanks, folks.

    One thing we learned is that one of the holdups on LMA's contract is that there is never been one done like this before. The Blazers and LMA are talking about paying LMA a % of the available cap space next year vs a $ amount.

    The Players Association doesn't like this at all. Both sides agree that LMA is not a max contract player but the Players Association doesn't like this % crap, they want hard numbers.

    The real Brian Wheeler knows that there is someone who posts as BrianWheeler in this forum. Says he reads this forum all the time.

    BTW where the hell was BrianWheeler? I thought he was coming down here with his wife. Didn't he post in the OT forum asking for ideas of places to visit in Portland today?
